John Tavares will never be a Montreal Canadien, stop it because it will not happen.

agreed, those trades can't be made.
as well, MB has no clue how to get a top 6 guy, he has had 5 years

Dream on about Tavares! He isn't coming here. All I wish is that he doesn't end up with some other team in the Atlantic division.
Leafs can afford him and add one good top 2 d and they could win the cup next year.
And I'm not kidding. Look how long hawks went from really bad to cup. Like 3 years.
****ing NHL and tanking. They have to change the draft system.
Agreed. If he signs then it's everything for him except serge. Ffs Leks would score 30 with him.Galchenyuk is the most I'd pay. They won't get better than that anywhere else and the only reason I'd do this is because Montreal seems to be turning on Chuck. He's younger, he'll be cheaper. No way I throw in more than him.
I'd also demand to talk to Tavares before trading for him to see if he'd sign here and barring that put in two conditional 1sts (from the Islanders - not us) if Tavares doesn't re-sign with us. And even that I'm not sure I'd be willing to do.
If you trade for him and he leaves, it's a total disaster.
Habs have to be all over this and solve the #1C problem!!! Been too long... and then they can put chucks at wing & stop this C to W bs & finally let him do his thing!
NyI: Patches, Sergachev, MAC, 1st, sherback
Mtl: Taveres, leddy
The money patches would ask for goes to JT & leddy is on a good contract leaving room to sign chucks JT & price...making the Habs a true condender
Kopitar has 830 regular season games and 75 tough playoff games under his belt at 29 years old. Toews has 710 regular season games and 124 tough playoff games under his. They won't be good forever. They are not long-term solutions. Tavares is the better player going forward.
Hawks had Keith, Hammer, Campbell (earlier on) and Seabrook (well he was good in his prime). Leafs have Rielly who's defensively probably the worst "top pairing" dman in the league right now.

You're missing the point here. Those other centres are more valuable because of everything you just mentioned. They're battle tested, proven playoff performers and Stanley Cup champions. That kind of winning is a premium to acquiring a player.
As far as my post, I was talking about the asinine trade proposals that was giving away our best players in the farm and our top picks for the foreseeable future for Tavares. It's not worth giving all that for a guy who hasn't won and doesn't have the pedigree that the others have, not that I'd trade a plethora of 1sts and our top prospects and our best young forward for them either. Just saying it's even less worth it.
We'll have to get our centre through the draft, a UFA or fleece a team on a trade for a player who wasn't projected to be a top line centre but miraculously becomes one here. Other than those scenarios, I wouldn't hold my breath for Tavares.
Kopitar has fell off this season...could be another Mike Richards, Scott Gomez?
Two time cup champion as the top centre and leading point getter, Selke winner same year he won the Bing but he's Scott Gomez because of an off year?? Ok...
I would definitely take Tavares before Toews and Kopitar.
